It has been a mad-dash effort from the field at the Sanderson Farms Championship as Thomas Detry and Mackenzie Hughes lead the way at 10-under par through two rounds.
Detry’s steady play of back-to-back 67s has generated one of the more controlled production outputs we have seen from the field, but there are still a few “what-ifs” to mention when we look into how he’s climbed the leaderboard.
Prior to the tournament, I noted how 27% of the daily opportunities will account for 60% of the projected winning score, but Detry has bucked conventional wisdom over his two rounds at the Country Club of Jackson, playing his 10 chances at even-par. We can look at this exhibit in either direction of sustainability, but the one thing that remains certain is that if the Belgian golfer starts creating openings at the more straightforward holes, this tournament could be his for the taking.
Let’s continue to dive into what the pertinent information is telling us about the weekend and see if we can find a betting edge.'
